The UN’s ‘scientific’ climate report is nothing more than confected hysteria
Story by Matthew Lynn • Yesterday 1:37 PM
We are a minute from midnight. The clock is ticking. Time is running out, and we have only a few more years left to rescue the planet.
As the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was released on Monday, the cliches just about wrote themselves. We were treated to the usual confected hysteria, the calls for more and more government action, and even higher state spending, all designed to meet a target that is more or less arbitrary.
Here’s the problem, however. Few would disagree that climate change needs to be taken seriously, that carbon emissions should be dramatically reduced, and that pollution needs to be addressed. But the IPCC has been riven by splits, and plagued by delays that make HS2 look like a model of efficiency. Even worse, net zero is turning into an ideology, and one that, like most rigid belief systems, will waste resources on an epic scale while failing to even achieve its original goal.
